Title: Foiled closure with swivel member
Inventor: MCGEOUGH PETER MICHAEL
IPC: B65D47/36
Filed: 2009-06-09
Abstract: A closure has a spout 2 which is adapted to be fitted to a neck of a container (not shown). An overcap 4 closes the spout and a swivel part 6 is held in place within a depending valve 8 in the overcap. The swivel 6 and the spout 2 are both welded to one face of an induction heat sealing foil disc 12. The engagement between the swivel 6 and the valve 8 of the overcap 4 takes the form of an inclined rim 30 on the swivel 6 that engages with a bead 40 on the valve 8 so as to lift/ cam the swivel 6 on rotation of the overcap 4 so as to initiate a tear in the foil disc 12. The depending valve 8 may have vents 54 to permit water vapour to escape from an interior of the overap 4. The spout may also have teeth 18 adapted to pierce the foil disc 12, and ease tearing. To open the closure the user twists the overcap causing the valve to rotate relative to the swivel part. The overcap then lifts the swivel part by means of the camming engagement between the bead 40 in the recess 34, enabling the tear to be easily propagated around the remainder of the disc as the foil is stretched over the teeth 18.

Title: Portable folding scaffold
IPC: B64F1/315
Filed: 1944-05-24
Abstract: 594,643. Ladder - scaffolding. SWAISGOOD, R. H. May 24, 1944, No. 10006. [Class 20(ii)] [Also in Group XXX] A stand, for use in servicing aeroplanes, has a platform 12, Fig. 1, adapted to be lowered and raised relative to a rectangular base frame 10 by means of two pairs of members 26, 26a, each member having one end pivotally connected to the platform and the other end pivoted to the base, and a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly 44a, 40 pivoted, at one end, to a cross member 36 on the base and, at the other end, to a cross member 32, the point of attachment of the assembly to the base and of the members 26, 26a to the base being adjacent each other, whereby the distance through which the platform is moved is greater than the corresponding relative displacement between the piston and the cylinder. Steps are provided by U-shaped bars 33 pivoted to the members 26, 26a and treads 35 welded to the bars 33. The steps remain horizontal in any position of the platform owing to the pivotal connections. Guard rails 65 are pivoted to supports 69. The base is mounted on wheels 15, 18 and is provided with a telescopic tow bar 16. To enable the stand to be made rigid when in use, jacks J are provided to raise the wheels 15 from the ground. Each jack comprises a strut 20, Fig. 3, having a non-circular collar 21 and a plate 24 connected by a ball and socket joint to a screw member 25. A corresponding non - circular part 22 is formed on the base frame. When the part 21 engages over the part 22, and is also held against axial movement by a pin 23, the jack is rigidly fixed. To move the jack to the inoperative position (shown dotted) the pin is removed, the part 21 moved off the part 22, turned, and then moved onto the part 22. In a modification (Figs. 6, 7, and 8 not shown), a U-shaped clip is provided, in place of the pin, to prevent axial movement of the two non-circular parts. The hydraulic system comprises the member 36, serving as a reservoir, a force pump 50, Fig. 4, actuated by a lever 51, a one-way valve 56 and a hand-operated valve 58. In operation, to raise the platform, the valve 58 is closed and the pump operated, this draws fluid from the reservoir 36 through the tubes 54, 55 and forces it through the valve 56 to the cylinder 40. To lower the platform the valve 58 is opened and the fluid is expelled from the cylinder by the weight of the apparatus acting on the piston 44a. To prevent accidental lowering of the platform a pin is passed through one of several openings 61, Fig. 1, in the piston. The platform is protected by guards 70, removably secured in sockets 71. These guards may be used to extend the platform by inserting them in horizontal sockets secured to the undersides of the platform. Parts of the platform adjacent its edges are cut away to allow additional platforms to be hooked onto the tubular edges of the main platform.

Title: Improvements in or relating to beta radiation monitors
Inventor: HALTON DENNIS LEWIN
IPC: G01T7/12
Filed: 1961-03-20
Abstract: 1,010,902. Beta radiation monitors. PLESSEY CO Ltd. March 6,1962 [March 20, 1961], No. 10048/61. Heading G1A. The invention relates to a beta radiation monitor for indicating whether the beta radiation from a radio-active material (not shown) is above or below a predetermined level and comprises a Geiger-Muller tube 3 the signal from which is fed to a rate circuit 5 and from there to an alarm circuit 12 through an amplifier 8. The monitor includes a shutter 1 which may be interposed between the material and the tube 3 having a beta source 4 whose radiation has that value of intensity required to cause the alarm 12 to operate. The thickness of the shutter is such that it will prevent external beta particles from entering the tube 3 but will have no effect on a gamma ray component of the radiation from the material, and the shutter may be rotatably, or horizontally removed as shown, from in front of the sensitive portion of the tube 3. The current i 1  at the output of the rate circuit 5 is the analogue of the impulse rate from the tube 3 produced by the incident radiation; part of this current i 2  passes through and is controlled by a variable resistance 6 connected as shown, the remainder i 3  (=i 1 - i 2 ) passes through a resistance 7 in parallel with the amplifier 8 which draws no input current. The voltage at point 9 therefore remains constant and the voltage at a point 10 changes by the product of i 3  and the value of the resistance 7. With the shutter moved in front of the tube the resistance 6 is varied until the currents i 2 , i 3  and hence the voltage at point 10 are sufficient to cause the alarm 12 to operate. If the shutter is then removed beta radiation from the material will cause the alarm to operate when the intensity reaches the same level as that of the source 4 on the shutter. The alarm signal may be in any chosen visual or audible form.

Title: Servo controlled tool block
Inventor: HERMANN OTTO
IPC: B23B29/16
Filed: 1962-03-16
Abstract: 945,591. Copy turning; grinding. R. K. LE BLOND MACHINE TOOL CO. March 16, 1962, No. 10201/62. Headings B3D and B3T. A machine tool such as a lathe or grinder for machining the fillets of the journals or crankpins of a crank-shaft 16 comprises a tool block 18 attached to a carrier block 20 housing a master crank-shaft 24. The tool block is attached to the carrier block, via a main body 26, by a tracer slide 30 which has a cylinder 34 therein with co-operating piston 36 which is rigidly fixed to a member 40 of the main body 26. A tool holder 50 mounted on the tracer slide is adapted to receive a lathe tool 52. Positioned vertically beneath the crank-pin of shaft 16 is a servo-valve structure 56, the structure being mounted within a bore 58 formed in the tracer slide and which consists of an outer sleeve 60 with a reciprocable valve member 62 therein, the upper end of the valve member being closed by a stylus support member 74 upon which is mounted slide 82 carrying stylus roller 84 which engages the crank-pin surface being machined. A stop 92 limits the vertical movement of the stylus slide on its support, the stylus being urged towards the crank-pin by spring 64 until the slide engages the stop or the stylus engages the crank-pin. The movement of the stylus is transmitted via rods 76 and 70 to the valve 60 which is provided with a plurality of annular grooves with ports located therein which communicate with the sleeve interior and are controlled by valve members 62. The grooves are connected by passages to opposite sides of the piston 36 and with pressure and exhaust passages 104, 110. The valve member 62 has an intermediate annular groove 120 and when the valve is in the intermediate position ports 108 and 112 are closed. An upward movement of the valve communicates the annular groove with ports 108 and a downward movement communicates port 112. This upward and downward movement is transmitted from the stylus to the valve member when the system is under hydraulic pressure and effects the opening and closing of ports 108 and 112 which subsequently controls the flow of the pressure fluid to the piston 36 so that upward and downward movement of the stylus produces upward and downward movement of the tool block. Adjustment of the stylus may be effected by a wedge block located in the stylus slide. Since the stylus engages the crank-pin being machined a wiper may be provided to keep the surface thereof clean and prevent particles affecting the accuracy of the finished work.

Title: Improvements in method and means for packaging cigarettes and the like
IPC: B65B19/24
Filed: 1930-03-31
Abstract: 354,222. Making paper and like bags ; packeting cigarettes. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(American Machine & Foundry Co. ; 511, 5th Avenue, New York, U.S.A.) March 31, 1930, No. 10229. [Classes 94 (i) and 94 (ii).] Open-ended packets for cigarettes are formed by partially wrapping a first sheet of foil in trough formation about a mandrel, applying a second sheet and folding down the side flaps of both inner and outer sheets as units, and thereafter folding in the overhanging ends to complete the container. Foil F is fed by rollers 18 through guides 19 and severed by a knife 20, the cut sheet being held against the wall of one of series of mandrels 11 by a plate 14. The mandrels are mounted on an intermittently rotating turret 10, and, on arrival at position B, rods 21' and brushes 22 turn up the sides of the foil, while a folder 24 turns up the forward end edge. A sheet P of paper is fed by a transfer member 25 into a position slightly offset with regard to that of the foil. Adhesive is' applied to the edge of the sheet P by any suitable means. During the next intermittent movement, the paper is folded up by plates 26, and at the next halt, at position C, plates 31, 32 turn down the sides on to the mandrel, and a clamping strip 15 moves into position to hold the seam until the adhesive is dry. Owing to the sheet P being offset, the seam of the inner sheet is concealed. At station D, folders 33, 34, 36 complete the end folding. An open-ended packet has now been formed, and, on arrival at station A a charge C, Figs. 1 and 2, of cigarettes is inserted by a plunger 38, which continues its motion to push the packet off the mandrel and to remain as a backing for the ensuing folding operations at stations B, C, D, being again withdrawn before arriving back at station A.

Strops and stropping-apparatus. - A safety razor, of which the single-edged blad can be stropped or honed without removal of the blade comprises a frame 3 in which is rotatably mounted a blade holder the ends of which project beyond the frame and are provided with pinions 16. The guard 18 is pivotally mounted so that it can be moved away from the blade for stropping purposes. The co-operating device for stropping &c. comprises a frame the sides of which have channels 12, 13. A transverse carriage member 15 slidable in the upper channel 12 against frictional resistance due to a semi-elliptic spring with adjusting screw 17, has two short rack members 2. In use, the pinions 16 engage with the racks, and the razor is moved to and fro, reciprocating the carriage, the racks and pinions serving to reverse the blade on reversal of the stroke. The edge of the blade bears on a rigid reversible strop &c. held in the lower channels 13. Outward movement of the carriage during stropping is limited by a spring catch 5 which, when released, allows the carriage to be moved so that the racks 2 project beyond the end of the frame, Fig. 3, to an extent limited by a fixed stop 7 and sufficient to allow the pinions 16 to be engaged with, or disengaged from, the racks. The racks and pinions are retained in mesh by the ends of frame 3 bearing against flanges 12<x> between the channels 12, 13. The rigid strop comprises a board 8 to opposite faces of which strips of stropping and honing material 9 are secured. The board also has studs 10 on which the corners of the blade rest at the end of each stroke to prevent it from cutting or hanging on to the material 9 on reversal of movement. The outer end of the board is covered with leather &c. 14 to prevent damage to the blade as the razor is being inserted or withdrawn, and has a spring catch 11 retaining it in the channel 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to display stands
IPC: A47F5/11
Filed: 1948-04-13
Abstract: 643,611. Collapsable display stands. SESSIONS, Ltd., W., and PHILIPSON, A. L. April 13, 1948, No. 10240. [Class 3(ii)] A display stand has side cheeks bent and anchored either forwardly or rearwardly from a main panel 2 each cheek having an intermediate fold line 5 to allow the stand to collapse flat by outward displacement about such fold line 5 while the cheek remains anchored, each side cheek also having a transverse fold line 6 intersecting the upright fold line 5 and adapted, when erecting the stand, after bringing into planar relation the parts 1a, 1b of the cheeks on each side of the intermediate fold line 5 to cause or allow the parts of the cheeks above and below the transverse fold line 6 to assume relative angular positions rendering the upright fold line 5 inoperative and maintaining the cheek parts above and below the transverse fold line 6 in planar form to give rigidity. As shown in Fig. 1 a cardboard blank has cheeks formed by substantially vertical score lines or creases 3, 4, 5 on one side of the blank, each cheek having a transverse score line or crease 6 on the other side of the blank. Each cheek has a tab 10 and the main panel or body 2 of the stand has a bottom extension 7 hinged to it by a score line. A tongue 8 on the bottom 7 engages a slot 9 on the tab 10 to anchor the cheeks. In its collapsed state each .cheek is folded about the vertical score line 5 so that the part 1b lies behind the part 1a and the bottom 7 is folded with the tongue 8 engaging the slot 9. The stand is erected by inward pressure on the cheeks at both ends at the score line 5 and after the parts 1a, 1b reach a common plane the cheek snaps inwardly and bends about the transverse score line 6; this prevents the cheek folding about the score line 5 and holds it rigidly. In another construction, Fig. 7, for a stand having a platform 16, each cheek is formed by vertical score lines 13, 14 and has a transverse score line 15. Slots 18 in the cheeks engage lugs 17 on a base 16 to anchor the cheeks. The stand is collapsed by folding each cheek about the score line 14 so that part 11b of the cheek overlies part 11a which is then in the plane of the main panel or back 12. When erected the parts 11a, 11b are in a common plane at right angles to the back 12 and part 19 of the cheek is bent at right angles to the parts 11a, 11b about the score line 15 to keep the parts 11a, 11b in alignment.
